BBC reported on June 29 that a team of scientists at the University of Texas at Austin sent a fake signal to the plane, making it mistaken for a GPS satellite signal, thereby infiltrating its control system.

This could also be the way Iran used to 'capture' a US drone in 2011.

Analysts said the show demonstrated the potential dangers of using unmanned aerial vehicles.

'Very dangerous. If a drone is controlled somewhere by using its GPS, the operator can make it crash into a building, or steal it and stuff it with the explosives on the plane, then control it. " Noel Sharkey, co-founder of the International Commission on Control of Robotic Weapons, told the BBC.

Unmanned airplanes are unmanned aircraft, usually driven from the center, thousands of kilometers away. They are used by the US military in conflict zones such as Afghanistan.
